In the first game ever played at Saint Vincent's new artificial turf field, the Lady Bearcats were defeated 13-8 by visiting Ohio Wesleyan University.

Liz Louison, Sarah Peranteau, and Anne Roslonski each scored two goals apiece, while Erica Lisi turned in a strong performance in goal, making 21 saves.

After spotting the Bishops a pair of goals in the first four minutes of play, the Lady Bearcats stormed back.  Louison ignited the squad with her first goal at the 24:30 mark, and SVC then surged ahead, with Peranteau, Roslonski, Emily Fedor, and Louison all scoring within a five minute span to push the Lady Bearcats in front 5-2 with 16 minutes left in the half.

Ohio Wesleyan then seized the momentum after a time out, countering the Lady Bearcat surge with six unanswered goals over the final 14 minutes of the first half to enter the intermission ahead 7-5.

The Bishops scored the first goal of the second half at the 22:51 mark, but Peranteau's second tally of the day, off of a give-and-go feed from Ashton Mancuso, cut the OWU lead to 8-6 with 20 minutes left.

Four minutes later, Roslonski scored her second goal, assisted by Danielle Yoncha, and Kelly Naugle then answered an OWU goal with her first of the season on a wraparound with 12:45 left to pull SVC to within one, 9-8.

It was as close as the Lady Bearcats could come, however, as the Bishops put the game away with four goals over the final 11 minutes to earn the 13-8 win.

Ohio Wesleyan (2-2) was led on the scoresheet by the duo of Hannah Mudge and Haleigh Rohr, who each finished with three goals and one assist.  Liz Searfos earned the win in goal for the Bishops, making 11 saves, as OWU finished with a 34-26 advantage in shots.

SVC (0-2) now faces a quick turnaround, as the Lady Bearcats will look for their first win of the season on Sunday afternoon, hosting crosstown foe Seton Hill University at 1pm.
